Using slide transitions

Slide transitions are the effects that take place when one slide gives

way to the next one in the presentation, like Roll down from top or Fly

in from left. They add dynamic flair to a slideshow, smoothing the

transition between slides.

In the Tasks pane, choose Slide Transition.

In the Slides pane or Slide Sorter view,

select the slides to which you want to

apply the transition. If you want the

transition to apply to all slides, you do not

need to select them first.

In the Apply to selected slides list,

select a transition.

Modify the selected transition by changing

the speed or adding a sound, in the Modify

transition area. If you choose to play a

sound, select it in the Sound list. The

Loop until next sound option now

becomes active. Select this option to play

the sound repeatedly until another sound

starts. If you select this option and there

are no subsequent sounds in your slide

show, the sound will play continuously for

the remainder of the show.

Choose next how to advance to the next

slide: manually (on mouse click) or

automatically. If you choose automatically,

you can specify how long the slide remains

visible before it automatically advances to

the next slide.

If you want the transition to apply to all

slides, click the Apply to All Slides

button.

To start the slide show from the current slide (so you can see all the

transitions), click the Slide Show button.

If the Automatic preview checkbox is marked, the effect of a selected

transition is immediately displayed in the work area. You can replay

the effect at any time by pressing the Play button.
